Hey there,
My friend has an Asus TUF fx504G laptop. We recently bought a new SSD and installed it as his main windows drive. We nuked the internal 1TB that came with the system and left it in as a secondary storage and Windows 10 installed on the new SSD without issue. The problem we're having is that the laptop kept giving an error that there was something wrong with hardware when he'd power it on. It looked to me like this warning (can't remember exactly what it said) was simply that the system couldn't find windows on the old drive because all we had to do to bypass the error and boot to windows was hit Esc to load the bios and then Exit with or without saving changes and it would boot to windows no problem. So I figured if I just wiped the old drive's recovery partition it would fix the issue.
Inside Windows 10 disk management, there were 3 partitions on the old drive. A recovery partition, a 100 mb reserved partition and then the main drive which was about 930 or so GB. Right clicking on the parititions didn't give any option to delete the other partitions like it normally should so I loaded up diskpart and simply ran the "clean" command on the disk. Then I tried to shutdown windows to see if the issue of it detecting a problem would go away and windows wouldn't shut down. It just went to the shutting down screen, but then came back into windows a second or two later which I've never seen before. I tried 3 times before deciding to simply hold the power button to force a shutdown. Now the computer automatically boots into the BIOS and there are no disks listed in the boot devices even though it's detecting both of them in the list of storage devices. I can't figure out how to add them back into the boot list. If I go into Advanced mode, the only option to adjust is Fast Boot as "Boot Option Priorities" is greyed out.
Does anyone have any idea how to fix this? I've never encountered a computer glitching out when you replace the HD before.
